Censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy

Senate we have a responsibility for the same censure
that we would demand of the Executive branch had a
member of the Executive branch taken such action.
(3) The Junior Senator from Wisconsin
has not neglected United States "Senators in his vicious
attacks. Here are a few examples of what he has
said about his fellow-Senators –
Congressional Record, April 8, 1952, page
3707—Letter by Senator McCarthy to Senator Gillette
dated December 19, 1951.
"As I have previously stated, you and
every member of your sub-committee who
is responsible for spending vast amounts
of money to hire investigators, pay their
traveling expenses, etc., on matters
not concerned with elections, is just
as dishonest as though he or she picked
the pockets of the taxpayers and turned the
loot over to the Democratic National
Committee."
